RTFM.
perldoc lib
For each directory in LIST (called $dir here) the lib
module also checks to see if a directory called
$dir/$archname/auto exists. If so the $dir/$archname
directory is assumed to be a corresponding architecture
specific directory and is added to @INC in front of $dir.

If this is where the DB_File.pm files are actually located, then they have
not been installed properly. Modules are installed by following the
instructions in the module's INSTALL file, typically perl Makefile.PL,
make, make test, make install.

@INC is a list of directories to search; adding directories will certainly
not hinder Perl in finding a file.
You are getting this error because you have spelled the name of the module
incorrectly:
> Can't locate DB_FILE.pm in @INC (@INC contains:
^^^^^^^
Perl is case-sensitive.
BTW, this question is not related to DBI and is therefore off-topic for
this mailing list.
